French term or phrase: clapet variateur
Hello all,
This comes from a catalogue entry about an electric cafetiere. Not sure what type of valve is being referred to, would control valve cover it?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
Et voici la Rolls des cafetières : non seulement elle garde le café au chaud des heures durant avec son pouvoir isotherme, elle est facile à utiliser, elle ne goutte pas quand on sert le café, mais aussi son couvercle est conçu avec un clapet variateur pour verser sans dommage.

adjustable flap


Explanation:
As a valve can be a "clapet" (usually a flap valve), "robinet", "soupape" etc., and as this is the lid of a cafetière, I think it's something mechanically simple.
